SPA SPOOOKTACULAR
Spa was spooktacular on Friday evening as all sorts of ghoulish and scary juveniles arrived at the clubhouse to celebrate Halloween. Young and old all got into the spooky spirit at our annual Halloween party, which was held in line with Covid restrictions. 

The kids danced to spooky tunes, they enjoyed having their faces painted and many even got terrifying tattoos. There were also games galore to entertain the children. Our juveniles enjoyed lots of well deserved treats too. It was a fangtastic evening by all accounts. Huge thanks to Orla O Leary Organiser and her team who ensured the evening was a huge success. Thanks to Anne Holland for sharing her abundance of Halloween decorations and for transforming our clubhouse for all to enjoy.

The club are very grateful to David Rea and Kieran Somers for creating an eerie mood with their professional lighting. Also, a huge thank you to the generous granddad who sponsored lots of treats for the kids! A sincere thank you to all the families who donated so generously on the evening. A total of around €360 was raised for club funds. 

Wishing everyone a happy Halloween and a very enjoyable midterm break!
